        treatments include:
        (a)   The regionally significant Noosa National Park and Pinaroo Park provide a significant opportunity for a ‘green’ town centre
              character, however the proximity of these open space assets is not currently leveraged. There is a key opportunity through
              the redevelopment of the Bowls Club (and on a much longer time scale, Noosa Fair Shopping Centre) to activate and
              engage with the edge of Pinaroo Park (it is directly adjacent with no major barriers). This engagement will contribute to the
              quality of the town centre environment and local character experience, potentially opening up an opportunity for more nature
              based experiences as part of the centre.
        (b)   Arcadia Street plaza and shared space is of a high quality and plays an important role in linking the main retailing street
              (Sunshine Beach Road) with secondary retail streets and spaces. The landscape qualities are characteristic of the wider
              Noosa style whilst also being distinctively local. The space seems a little underutilised, however this may be rectified once
              the bowls club site is redeveloped and the connection feels complete (currently no destination / crossing at the extension of
              Arcadia Street across Lanyana Way). It is recommend the high quality is maintained/ used as a benchmark, and extended
              across Lanyana Way to the ‘future square’ ­ it all should read as one public place.
        (c)   The Main Street (Sunshine Beach Road) is characterised by a wide central median which allows some quite large copy
              trees to be a dominant character element and provide extensive shade coverage (at times all the way across the traffic
              lanes). The planting style is informal and irregular, adding to the charm and distinctiveness of the place. The north­western
              end (north side) has a green gateway as the secondary elevated footpath is separated from the lower footpath by a
              landscape zone. This unique condition adds to the special arrival character but creates challenges for wheelchairs and
              prams. It is important that any redevelopment of adjoining buildings does not adversely impact the tree health and ability to
              provide extensive canopy coverage/ shade. The landscaped quality of this area should be maintained and it may serve as a
              benchmark for other spaces.
        (d)   Future Road to Noosa Drive should complement Sunshine Beach Road as a smaller scale (secondary) centre street. The
              spaces adjacent the new square and across Lanyana Way should be treated as ‘shared spaces/ an extension of the
              Arcadia Street Square.
        (e)   Lanyana Way should also complement Sunshine Beach Road as a smaller scale (secondary) centre street. The quality of
              the streetscape on the northern side is satisfactory for the adjoining uses. The southern side is characterised by a section
              of screening vegetation to the Noosa Fair car park and this character vegetation should be retained and enhanced.

 (5)    Landmark/Character Buildings – Although there are no standalone character or landmark buildings in Noosa Junction, the built
        form along Sunshine Beach Road is quite varied in architectural style, setbacks, height and interface with the streetscape. It is this
        variety that influences the streetscape character, however the large canopy trees (particularly in the central median) and
        landscaping remains the dominant character element.
 (6)    Key Corners ­ These sites make (or have the potential to make) a significant contribution to the built form character and
        experience of Noosa Junction. Built form should positively address the corners; be active and inviting (be ‘friendly’). Roof forms,
        windows and door openings should reflect this character outcome and orientation.
 (7)    Primary Active Frontages ­ The mapped ‘primary active frontages’ reflect where this type of built form interface currently exists or
        is proposed; appropriate, desired and achievable. These built form interfaces must adhere to the planning scheme requirements,
        particularly the Major Centre Zone code. While all other business zone street interfaces (within the centre boundary) provide some
        form of active frontage, they may be secondary in nature with variances such as greater setbacks for landscaping.
 (8)    Key Development Sites ­ Key development sites have been identified as those with a high likelihood for development/significant
        change in the next 5­10 years. These sites have the potential to significantly impact the character and activity of the centre based
        on, likely/ known future use, parcel size and location. It is recommended that additional guidance on the urban design and built
        form outcomes of these sites be sought through a preliminary meeting with Council Planning Officers. Key development sites in
        Noosa Junction include:
        (a)   Council Car Park adjacent to Bottlebrush Avenue offers a long term residential redevelopment opportunity and any
              development should allow for publicly accessible mid­block linkages to increase permeability around the centre;
        (b)   Lanyana Way sites ­ In redevelopment of existing lowset older buildings, new built form should maintains the exiting fine
              grain appearance to Lanyana Way and provide glimpses to surrounding landscape including Noosa Hill. Buildings should
              address the corner with this new connection by wrapping openings and awnings around the corner. Mid­block, publicly
              accessible walkways need to link Lanyana Way with Sunshine Beach Road and link to the bus station.
        (c)   Redevelopment of the Bowls Club and adjoining Council car park. (Refer to Figure 2 – Redevelopment of Bowls Club
              Council Car Park) ­ Recommendations include:
              (i)    Residential uses are located and orientated to provide passive surveillance to the park node and the mid­block links
                     and laneways. Built form should also positively contribute to the entry/ gateway experience of Noosa Drive;
              (ii)   New business or community uses address the new street and provide an active frontage to the future square, with
                     parking and servicing to the rear;
